OVERVIEW

The CrystalView HDMI Active Optical Cable extends your HDMI 2.0 video display at 4K60 with 10-bit HDR up to 330 feet (100 m) away from your computer. The cable embeds all of the optics and electronics into the metal cable head to provide a sleek and streamlined installation. No external power supply is needed because all of the power is supplied by the HDMI interface. The cable is available in fixed lengths of:

32.8' (10m)

65.6' (20m)

98.4' (30m)

164.0' (50m)

229.6' (70m)

There are so many places where this cable can be used such as in digital signage, presentation venues, hotel and restaurant, medical facilities, retail locations, industrial settings, military sites, and many other environments.

It has a low smoke zero-halogen jacket which permits it to be used in plenums, walls, and ceilings. Running in conduit is not required. It is installed and connects just like a copper cable, except it must be installed in the correct direction. It's 4mm jacket size is small and has a low bend radius of less than an inch (20mm). It is rugged with a crush resistance of 400N short term and 200N long term.

The cable is a hybrid style with both glass fiber and copper. The high speed video signals with embedded audio are transmitted in fiber. All audio formats are supported including up to 32 audio streams at 1536Khz sampling rate. The CEC, DDC, and hot-plug detect signals are passed through untouched in copper and therefore no setup or any special requirements are needed. The cable is HDCP compliant to all versions. There is no support for ARC or Ethernet in this cable.

For maximum benefit, pair it with Rose USB 3.1 optical extender cables to make a complete high-speed KVM extension.
